As we mentioned before, Kofi's first major TV role came from starring on OWN's Queen Sugar — which is created and executive produced by award-winning filmmaker Ava DuVernay. She first met him when he was 21 years old, and said that his seriousness is what encouraged her to cast him on her show. "You have a lot of young actors who come in the room and they're just kind of feeling the moment and the Hollywood-ness of it," she told Vulture.
